i believe that honest and open communication is a must... i have seen this manipulated by a few to the point where i question their honesty - a) with me/others and b) with themselves.

i find these people twist what i have to say so that it fits their criteria totally losing my meaning and perception of the situation / issue under discussion.. this has then been "thrown" back at me in the form of being talked at... something which really annoys me, however, i try to remain calm and dispassionate as i have learnt that to get visibly angry just tips the balance and you dont win the battle. This i know has been viewed as being weak, trust me that is one thing i am not.

my view of a debate / discussion is where all can air their views in a safe environment without fear of ridicule or judgement... if we all had the same view what a boring world we would live in. some however see it as a way to instill / force their view on others. i often take the opposing view - devils advocate - to keep a debate lively.. this has brought about some interesting responses.

i am intelligent and have strong views and opinions on most things but unlike some i will acknowledge if i am wrong - i don't need and i will not allow myself to be brow beaten into submission.

i love the inner strength, intelligence and spirit of the girls / sisters i have met both online and realtime.....

with love to you all

Hiya moonie- we moved, but don't have the computer hooked up again , and i am writing from work during my lunch.

In my ever so humble opinion, anyone that can't take someone expressing another's opinion, when it's done in a respectful and logical manner, isn't one that is secure, period. There are some that think that their way is the only way, and that just plain rubs me the wrong way. It's a pretty arrogant stance, i think.

Ask the same quetions to 20 different people, most of the time, you wil get almost 20 different answers. All depends on our perceptions and thinking processes...

Anyway, ya'll have fun !!!

** waves and blows kisses to her sister moonie, whom she misses, and to fury sis, whose quick wit always makes this one smile **

**smiles gently and waves hello to Shifting Wind Sir, saying that yes, this girl will eventually pop back in, and send her regards to Him, and to the O/others of the Home**

Ps., a lil update. My sistr got engaged in late May, and i wil be her Matron of Honor.. My daughter wil be the Flower Girl!
